Two men were arrested in front of Sacramento State’s Residence Halls at 8:30 this morning.

“He’s likely a bike thief, scoping out bikes, him and his partner,” Mark Iwasa, Sac State police chief said.

The men had criminal records and narcotics were found on one of the individuals.

“Guys like that try to turn a quick profit,” Iwasa said.

Trained community service officers deter bike theft at compounds spread around campus.

There is no compound near the residence hall, Iwasa said.
